Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Urn

Mourn without a mo becomes urn. Far from being just a receptacle for funeral ashes, an urn can also be used for making tea. There can't be many Brits reading this that haven't attended a garden party or similar at some point and had a cuppa made in an urn by the Women's Institute.

2. Start with a by-product of sugarcane refining. Give me a mo and you're left with a slang word for young girls.
